Liquid Studio is a product born from TwistedBrush Pro Studio but with a focus on creation of individual objects that you might use in other Pro Studio or other art software and with a simpler, streamlined interface. The Liquid paints allow you to model and shape your objects and then paint them with the included brushes with the results being crisp lines you might see in illustration software but without the need to mask anything. You can even continue to shape your objects after they are painted.

Clean User InterfaceLiquid Studio, as all of Pixarra's focused Studio products, has a clean interface, designed for an easy, quick work flow. Dark and lighter color themes are available.

Quick Access PanelsThe Color Management panel and the Brush Shortcut Panel are two panels you will use a lot. All the panels in Liquid Studio will automatically hide if they get in your way while painting. Manually hiding all panels is also possible with the F3 hotkey.

Quick Command PanelThe Quick Command panel gives you a configurable array of buttons you can keep close at hand while working. Resize and reshape the panel to your needs. Add, remove and move buttons to create the layout that works best for you. Quickly show or hide the panel with the [F4] hotkey. Right click to edit a button or add one to an empty slot. [Ctrl] + click to drag a button to a new location. As an added bonus there is some functionality exposed in the Quick Command panel that isn't available anywhere else in Liquid Studio.

Powerful Brush Effects SystemSince User ArtSets are available you might be thinking where will you get new brushes from. There are a number of ways, user shared brushes in the Pixarra forum, brushes imported from Pro Studio, OR now you can edit brushes right in Luminance Studio with the powerful Brush Effects system from Pro Studio. First an IMPORTANT NOTE: Editing brushes is NOT an easy task. There are over 500 different effects that can be combined in 28 effect layers with each effect processed with 100's of modifiers. I think it's safe to say the Pixarra brush effects system makes for the most powerful brush engine in existence. Evidenced in the ability to draw simple lines or fully detailed tree with the same engine with a single stroke as can be seen in Tree Studio.

One of the common ways to use the Brush Effects panel is to tweak existing brushes in small ways to meet your needs and you can do this right in Liquid Studio and save them to the User ArtSets.

LayersEasy access support for layers are in Liquid Studio. The idea is to keep your work flow simple and fast. A simple single click to create a layer with no scrolling. Right click a layer for additional options. Drag layers to rearrange them.

ClipsA fantastic productivity system that allows for easy storage and reuse of your clipped images and photo elements for use later. ​

Brush ControlBrush Control is a custom control panel, until now, available only in TwistedBrush Pro Studio, that changes for every Pro brush.​ The brush editor allows the designer to define exposed control points for a brush to make it easy to tune a selected brush without needing to understand the details of brush editing.​​​

The Process of Creating Liquid Art

Step 1The process of creation using Liquid Studio can roughly follow these steps with the first step painting a basic shape. There isn't a need to be accurate it will be shaped and tine tuned in later steps. Concentrate on creation of a silhouette of what you are trying to create.

Step 2Using the liquid shaping brushes push and pull your shape to get it closer to what you want. Similar to working with clay but in 2D.

Step 3The Liquid smoothing brushes can be used to further refine the shape as well as smooth the edges.

Step 4Using the collection of paint brushes included with Liquid Studio you are now ready to paint your shape. There is no need to mask or select, only the objects on the current layer will be painted and you will have a crisp edge to your object.
